Exhibit 99.03
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
The Merger Agreement provides that each share of Salomon Inc ("Salomon")
common stock will be exchanged for 1.695 shares of Travelers Group Inc.
("Travelers") common stock. The exchange ratio and all per share amounts
contained in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and
the notes thereto reflect the three-for-two stock split declared by Travelers on
October 22, 1997 and payable on November 19, 1997 to all stockholders of record
on November 3, 1997. The merger, which is expected to be completed in the fourth
quarter of 1997, is expected to be accounted for under the pooling of interests
method and, accordingly, Travelers' historical consolidated financial statements
presented in future reports will be restated to include the accounts and results
of Salomon. The merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including
regulatory and Salomon stockholder approval.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of
financial condition combines the historical consolidated statement of financial
condition of Travelers and the historical consolidated statement of financial
condition of Salomon giving effect to the merger as though it had been
consummated on June 30, 1997. The following unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statements of income combine the historical statements of income of
Travelers and Salomon giving effect to the merger as if it had occurred on
January 1, 1994. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1996
also give effect to the acquisition in April 1996 of the domestic property and
casualty operations of Aetna Life and Casualty Company (the "Aetna P&C"
operations) and transactions related to the funding of the acquisition, as if
they had occurred on January 1, 1996. This information should be read in
conjunction with the accompanying notes hereto; the separate historical
financial statements of Travelers as of June 30, 1997 and for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and for each of the three years ended December 31,
1996 which are contained in Travelers' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 1997 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, respectively; and the separate historical
financial statements of Salomon as of June 30, 1997 and for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996, and for each of the three years ended December 31, 1996
which are contained in Salomon's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended June 30, 1997 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1996, respectively. In addition, the information related
to the pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1996 should be read in
conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Aetna P&C operations
for the period ended March 31, 1996 contained in Travelers' Current Report on
Form 8-K dated June 7, 1996.
The pro forma financial data is not necessarily indicative of the results
of operations that would have occurred had the merger been consummated or of
future operations of the combined company.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
1. Description of Transactions and Basis of Presentation
The Merger Agreement provides that each share of Salomon common stock will
be exchanged for 1.695 shares of Travelers common stock. The exchange ratio and
all per share amounts contained in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial statements and the notes thereto reflect the three-for-two stock split
declared by Travelers on October 22, 1997 and payable on November 19, 1997 to
all stockholders of record on November 3, 1997. The merger, which is expected to
be completed in the fourth quarter of 1997, is expected to be accounted for
under the pooling of interests method and, accordingly, Travelers' historical
consolidated financial statements presented in future reports will be restated
to include the accounts and results of Salomon. The merger is subject to
customary closing conditions, including regulatory and Salomon stockholder
approval.
The pro forma effect of the acquisition of the Aetna P&C operations is
reflected in the pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and for the year ended December 31, 1996 as if the
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1996. This acquisition has been accounted
for as a purchase. Note that actual results for the Aetna P&C operations are
included in Travelers' historical amounts from the date of acquisition on April
2, 1996.
2. Accounting Policies
Travelers and Salomon are in the process of reviewing their accounting
policies and, as a result of this review, it may be necessary to restate either
Travelers' or Salomon's financial statements to conform to those accounting
policies that are determined to be most appropriate. No such restatements have
been made to the pro forma combined financial statements.
3. Intercompany Transactions
Transactions between Travelers and Salomon are not material in relation to
the pro forma combined financial statements and therefore intercompany balances
have not been eliminated from the pro forma combined amounts.
4. Pro Forma Adjustments -- Salomon
The pro forma adjustments to common stock, additional paid-in capital,
retained earnings and treasury stock at June 30, 1997 reflect (1) the retirement
of shares of Salomon common stock held in treasury pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, (2) adjustments to account for 105 million shares of Travelers common
stock held in treasury to be issued in the transaction as though retired, in
accordance with APB No. 16, (3) the issuance of 182.1 million shares of
Travelers common stock to effect the Merger, and (4) the after-tax effect on
retained earnings of an estimated charge for restructuring (see note 7). The
number of shares to be issued at consummation of the Merger will be based on the
actual number of shares of Salomon common stock outstanding at that time.

6. Pro Forma Earnings Per Share
The pro forma combined primary earnings per share for the respective
periods presented is based on the combined weighted average number of common
shares and share equivalents of Travelers and Salomon. The number of common
shares and common share equivalents of Salomon is based on an exchange ratio of
1.695 shares of Travelers common stock for each issued and outstanding share and
share equivalent of Salomon. The pro forma combined primary earnings per share
has been calculated as follows:

7. Restructuring Charge
The pro forma condensed combined statements of income do not reflect a
planned merger-related restructuring charge of between $400 million and $500
million (after-tax) primarily for severance and costs related to excess or
unused office space and other facilities since such restructuring charge is
non-recurring. Although there can be no assurance that the restructuring charge
will fall within the range provided, this range represents management's best
estimate based on the currently available information.
8. Future Cost Savings
As Salomon's operations are integrated with the existing operations of
Travelers, management expects to achieve, by the end of a three-year period,
annual cost savings in excess of $200 million (after-tax) from the reduction of
overhead expenses, changes in corporate infrastructure and the elimination of
redundant expenses. There can be no assurance that these projected cost savings
will be achieved. These expected future cost savings are not reflected in the
pro forma financial data.
The statements contained in notes 7 and 8 above may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1993, as amended. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by
the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate" and similar
expressions. These forward-looking statements are based largely on management's
expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties. Actual results could
differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a result of a number
of factors, including (1) determination of the number, job classification and
location of employee positions to be eliminated, (2) compatibility of the
operating systems of the combining companies, (3) the degree to which existing
administrative and back-office functions and costs are complementary or
redundant, and (4) the timing of implementation of changes in operations to
effect cost savings. Travelers undertakes no obligation to update publicly or
revise any forward-looking statements.
